AppleBees Childcare

🚜 🚜 🐷 🐷 🐮 🐮

The end of last week helping the sheep with his wool, searching for our forest alternatives to farm items and then ending the week at gymnastics with all our friends

Starting June with a farm theme. The weather helped and has provided rain none stop for lots of muddy puddles . X

The last of our bee and bug activities before half term

We had a lovely morning helping the number bees find their matching beehives. All the children showed amazing recognition and the older children really helped the little ones.

Seeing if the children could recreate our frog pond from the week before . They did a great job of remembering and using their imaginations to think of other things we could add

I felt it was time to refresh my logo, which had remained unchanged for seven years—what do we think?

Coming up to Easter this is really important to remember

It’s that time of year again when mini eggs are lining the supermarket shelves. But, did you know that, just like grapes, they are the perfect size to block a small child’s airway and choke them? And, their hard shell can make it difficult to dislodge with standard first aid techniques.

With whole grapes we advise cutting them in half lengthways and ideally into quarters to create thin strips. But chopping up mini eggs isn’t as easy. So, what can you do?

1. Hide them from the children and eat them yourself – good luck with that!

2. Break them into small pieces with a rolling pin. Or, crush them in a pestle and mortar. Or melt them a little first.

3. Opt for a different treat. Larger, hollow eggs are much safer for little ones.
